HOUSE
- BEYOND MADNESS IS SANITY -

HOUSE is carrying on by popular demand & has be a habitual series for 2 continents. Dr. Gregory House, starring Hugh Laurie is still the irreverent & unconventional diagnostician at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. House leads a team of medical experts who work out medical solutions for some of the toughest symptoms a patient can have.
Using the Socratic Method & differential diagnosis, the team explores & deliberates until the patient is cured. Many times the patient cannot be diagnosed correctly when patients lie about the circumstances surrounding their own symptoms. House usually assumes the patient is lying, which is the underlying score & guides House's decisions & diagnoses.
Hugh Laurie plays an eccentric unorthodox Dr. who self medicates to fight his own lingering pains & neurosis; only to heroically save his patients while others are left crying foul.

Dr. House, starring Hugh Laurie, is depressive sullen Dr. with little to no bedside manners. He sullenly limps along in his own lingering self medicated physical pains & has little to no politeness in dealing out patient diagnosis in questions or answers.
His character is unconventional, yet highly ethical in medical brilliance, but dishes out his heroic diagnosis like he was throwing food into the pig's pen. Showing little respect for a patient or for his expert medical team, House makes everyone come together in orderly disorder to solve each patients dilemma & does in the end ultimately save the patient's life.
His elite hand picked medical team of young bright astute medical experts seem to plow through diagnosis like a team of mighty Belgium Horses. They simply do not stop till the patient, much to their own chagrin, are healed. Needless, to say House is well on his way to whatever & where ever his own lethal pain leads him. Bossy, heady, rude & crude - you too will favor watching all of the House episodes to the end. Especially at times, when the heart of the Dr. is involved.
The information on the shows I review is compiled through various tv, cable programming news & related info. I have taken an interest in reviewing network shows that not only do I enjoy week to week, but that hold an intent & purpose to help change the world that we live in for the good. It is all about being the change I want to see in the world - today! Thank you.

I like House because he is such an unapologetic curmudgeon. This gives the show a comedic bent even when it is supposed to be deadly serious. One waits for the next inappropriate, crude remark from the good/bad doctor to say or do what we may wish we could without fear or pity.
